Pembroke College bridge deck installation. Brewer Street, Oxford, 21st May 2012. The glass and steel bridge designed by architects Berman Guedes Stretton as part of a larger redevelopment for Pembroke College crosses Brewer Street to provide a link between the two campuses owned by the college. The last bridge to be built over one of Oxford city centre’s streets was the iconic Bridge of Sighs in 1914.

Memories of Hall the Printers in Oxford prior to demolition, who judging scattered ephemera, printed a lot of 2000AD comics. Even though the machinery is long gone I love how resilient the marks and character of the previous occupants remain.
